Nice inside seating with a street view
Tracy B.

First time trying this. I don't know why I waited so long - but what do they say? It's worth the wait. I ordered the 2 piece tenders - original hot. They nailed the recipe and I loved the fries. Parking is in the back lot. Very small inside but room for outside sitting as well. Staff was attentive. Ordering was on a tablet. Price is efficient

BBQ buffalo fries
Laurel T.

This place is one of my guilty pleasures lol I used to order from here on Uber eats weekly for their chicken fries. This was the first time I came in and grabbed food. They have private parking in the back. It was actually really crowded when I came in. Mostly packed with people waiting for to go orders and Uber eats drivers. They have kiosks to order on but since I had a birthday coupon I had one of the staff members take my order I ended up getting a coupon for my birthday by signing up for their emails. So I came in and got one order of chicken fries (garlic Parmesan) and then another order (BBQ) and two drinks. I also love their chipotle sauce flavor. They actually have a pretty good selection of flavors to choose from I always order the boneless chicken because I don't like having to work that hard for my food and having to pick chicken off the bones Not going to lie, this place hits the spot after a long day. I always order their boneless chicken salad which is amazing, their boneless chicken wraps and they have great shakes (they also have little pieces of cake for sale up at the counter) I'll always continue to order to go from here. I noticed there is seating outside but I'm not sure if it's for the place next door or they all just share it. Because there's only a limited amount of seating inside

Got some boneless wings lemon pepper flavor and an oreo cookie shake. So delicious, great customer service.

I drive past this spot all the time and every time I get to the light I tell myself, "I have to try it." But for some reason I never do. Last week, I was out running around heading to book club and needed food, so I decided to try this place. It was on its way and easy enough to make me on time. Well, it backfired on me in a big way. Astonishingly good customer service was provided to me. A friendly smile and a warm welcome greeted me as soon as I walked through the door. My orders were correct and a friendly, attentive, and efficient staff supplied everything I needed. In the back, there are about ten parking spots, however, they might fill up quickly and street parking isn't the best option. The patio is limited however well-maintained, with maybe a few tables and chairs. It's an alright spot to enjoy a meal on a warm day. There is minimalist decor inside, with modern furniture and plenty of legroom, along with a public restroom. They had my favorite type of fries, but I don't know the brand, so I'm just going to call them fast-food fries. It took about 10-15 minutes for the 3 tender combo with BBQ sauce to be made, so I waited in the lobby for about 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, I decided to try a Fri, because they were right there, while I waited for my Target pick-up order. It completely underwhelmed me. Despite my high expectations, the fries were a major disappointment. In addition to the texture being unpleasantly rough, the flavor was nonexistent and crispy, but not in a good way. Additionally, the chicken tenders themselves were disappointing. I found them overbreaded and the texture wasn't very natural. Aside from being too crunchy and overpowering, the breading made it hard to enjoy the chicken itself. The chicken was complete lack of seasoning. The biggest issue was the sloppy BBQ sauce. It was like they poured the sauce straight from the bottle into the container without considering the texture or presentation. And don't even get me started on the taste - it was like they just used cheap, store-bought BBQ sauce that lacked any real depth or flavor. The most disappointing part was the price. Tenders and fries cost almost twenty dollars, which is highway robbery. I've had better at a fast food joint for a fraction of the price. Which is why I choose to return the order. One thing that really impressed me was the way the cashier dealt with the situation. Instead of getting angry or upset, he remained calm and professional, offering a refund and was willing to let me keep the food, but I chose to return it. Overall the service was excellent, but I do not plan to return.

Cali Burrito with BBQ flavor chicken.
Mellanie A.

Buffalo Spot is a great place to get some affordable quick take out. They specialize in their "buffalo fries" which ultimately is a side of fries with some flavored popcorn chicken on top. My go-to is usually the Cali Burrito which is the same ordeal as the Buffalo Fries but just wrapped in a burrito. I've been coming here since about 2016 so I'm not sure if today was just an off-day or if the quality has declined throughout the years as the chicken in my Cali Burrito tasted chewy and was just overall rubbery. It was quite empty upon my visit which is surprising as they're usually pretty popular. I would suggest the owner to stay on top of their quality control in order to avoid serving meh food and to draw the crowds in. Going forward I'll probably order my chicken well done to prevent this in the future. I do encourage people to come try it for themselves though! Their fries are really good and the chicken is usually not this low-quality so again, maybe I just came on an off-day.

As much as I love chicken, this place is fairly good. Not greasy or drenched in saucy sauce(you like the sauce, huh?). Unless request for it prior to placing your order. They will prepare your wings and fries upon ordering. This way, it's fresh and good. So do expect a wait approx. 15 - 20 minutes. I ordered the FP Traditional Wings(25), with Atomic Hot and Original hot flavors with a side of fries and two drinks. Great value. They have great deals on Tuesday and Thursday, so try to come during those days for the best price and experience. This location has rewards programs, so if you're a big fan of wings, it's so worth it. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

NEW FLAVORS ALERT The Buffalo Spot just dropped 2 new dry rub flavors and you need to try them ASAP!! The first is a lemon pepper butter rub and it has that delicious tangy and peppery flavor we've all had and love The second is a tropical heat rub that has the perfect balance of spice and kick to it The cool thing is that you can even add the dry rub to your buffalo fries I got there around 11am and there was no line, and I was helped right away. It's a little store, but it was nice and clean. Definitely check them out when you're craving some solid chicken

One of the best places in Long Beach for wings. Service and quality is excellent. The staff is super friendly and very welcoming. The atmosphere is ideal to sit and watch a game and enjoy some delicious wings.

Buffalo Spot to satisfy that wings craving. Go on Tuesdays for their boneless wing day for 60 cents for each wing. Not sure what flavor you want? You are able to try the different sauces along with the fries. The fries are cooked perfectly unlike other wing places. (looking at you wing-stop) Our food came out surprisingly quick. Along with the great breadsticks it's definitely a place to check out along with the friendly staff.

Guys! BEST Buffalo spot We got the usual Cali burrito with chipotle sauce and extra chicken dipped in Buffalo sauce! BOMB! The cooks today made the burrito so good it was extra special today ! And we got greeted by Luis he was so nice and gave us great customer service. We appreciate being treated like this as a fast food place Hire more people like Luis !!!

My GF & I's go to!! We've literally been here about 4-5 times in July alone lol. Our work just moved to LB from Costa Mesa so Buffalo Spot is way more accessible! Every time we've been here the service is excellent. They welcome you and serve you right away. Their extremely helpful too, they'll run through the menu with you or if you want to do it yourself they have a self serve kiosk. I use the kiosk because it's just easier for me and I don't have to talk to anyone. I like it mostly because whenever we come in we're usually in a hurry and the kiosk is always open. The food is always on point; everything is so hot and crispy! The fries are delicious! One of the times we came in we tried an Oreo shake. That was pretty delicious! I'll most definitely try another shake soon! The inside is really cool, there's some TV's that play a show or movie and they have some dope art work on the walls. I love Buffalo Spot! I really wish we had one in Anaheim/Orange area. Irvine is just too out of the way. LB is cool with me for now!

Does the traditional wings has any kind of carbs? Like crust of bread? Or is it just fried wings

Rowzan, Depending on the sauce you choose, they could have carbs from sugars in a particular sauce. From the cooking process, there are no carbs or breading. We marinate our wings, dip them in an egg wash, then deep fry them.

Can you get the 55 cent wings on Tuesday with delivery too?

No, the Tuesday special is only available in store.

And honestly, it's not just one of the best Thai restaurants, it's one of the best restaurants in Long Beach, period. What really stands out to me is how clean, fresh, and healthy the food is. Everything is always so consistent, and you genuinely feel good about what you're eating. It's the kind of food that tastes amazing but also feels like you're doing something good for your body. Over the years, we've become incredibly close with the owners. They're like family to us, and they've always treated us that way. It's a husband-and-wife team, along with their sisters-in-law, and you can just feel the love they put into the place. I'm sure they make everyone who walks through the doors feel just as welcome. You can't help but be happy when you're there. And the food! I absolutely love their soups, their rice dishes, and especially their market salad. Everything is beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant itself has such a great atmosphere, too. Instead of traditional windows, they have these big roll-up garage doors that open everything up to the outside. It gives the whole place this wonderful, open-air feeling that's perfect for Long Beach. I really can't say enough good things about Second Owl. Between the incredible food, the consistency, the atmosphere, and the people who make it all happen, it's just a special place. If you're anywhere near 2nd Street or visiting Long Beach, you absolutely have to check it out. It's one of those restaurants that makes you feel good from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave.

Dropped in with a friend, to watch the games now that football season is back in swing. Beer, food…read moreand TV's. Only thing missing for me was liquor. Not a big deal though as my taste buds prefer beer with pizza ... Anyway, I'll start with parking. Metered street parking or you can do laps until you find a spot on the residential side streets that I believe are free without restrictions. If there are signs, I don't know because I chose to park in a metered space and managed time via the app (Passport Parking). Service was great. The team - I say team because several staff members were on the floor and they worked together with orders, following up and even changing the games on a TV for me so I was craning my neck to watch. Appreciated it big time. Then the food - I liked it but didn't love it. Here's my take - it was bready or doughy but I prefer more flaky. The sauce for me I like sweeter - but on that it's probably because I'm used to sauce being covered by cheese and toppings. But I did like it. I'd go back and have it again. I just have to get it out of my head that every place is different and going in with expectations thinking I was gonna have what I had when in Chicago is on me. Enjoyed the flavor of the chicken wings but felt they were a little dry. It's an open restaurant with communal seating (bar height) in the middle with lower tables on the outside, speaking of - a few tables outside as well. TVs all around. Only one TV's audio will be broadcasting though - keep that in mind if you're going for the games.

This place has always been good. The taste is always the same. The service is always magnificent…read more There's a cool vibe in there. They had a lot of games playing on the TVs. Also I love that they let you know on a big sign that the pizza is going to take certain amount of minutes. You can't rush perfection lol The pizza is that. I usually get the deep dish but this time we did the thin crust and it was so good. Their wings and their ranch are a must Wifey really likes the bruschetta.

Came for the $3 Taco Tuesday night. Surprisingly not busy! Was worried about parking on the street…read morebut luckily we found a spot not too far of a walk away. They had sports playing on the TVs and the interior is pretty small. It's more of a casual vibe good for a chill night out. It kinda feels like a place where you order at the front and get takeout, but they have someone who will wait on your table if you choose to dine in. I came with a vegetarian friend and we had a fun time sampling the different taco meats and rating each. Here is my ranking: 1. Asada - I hate to be basic, but this was good for what it was. It tasted like they might have used mushroom meat, but this takes place as #1 for me because I think it could be a general crowd pleaser for any non-vegetarian. On the contrary, my vegetarian friend did not like it because she found it too dry. 2. Barbacoa - A very, very close second. The only reason it places behind asada is because asada is a classic. Barbacoa has good texture and I could eat a lot of these too. 3. Chorizo - This was the closest to tasting like its actual counterpart. I could eat a bunch of chorizo. Crumbly meat with lots of flavor. 4. Tinga - I'm not as familiar with tinga meat, but the pickled red onion that went with this taco gave it a savory taste. Good to try out but you're not missing out if you choose other flavors. 5. Chicken - Tasted like tofu meat? Not bad - I don't usually pick chicken for taco meat so this might be a personal preference choice. 6. Pastor - Sweet, but did not taste like pastor. Had a little trouble distinguishing between the pastor and the tinga at first, but came to the conclusion the pastor was the one with pineapple on it. I mostly prefer savory meats and while I don't mind the pineapple, the pastor I usually have is not sweet itself. If you like sweet meats, this might be worth getting. 7. Potato - Everybody can skip the potato. It's a fried potato taco, but the potato they use resembles a breakfast hash. The crispiness is nice, but the texture is flaky and the sauce doesn't save it. Even my vegetarian friend was let down by this one even though she had high hopes and usually likes potato tacos. Overall the server told us most of the taco meats were soybean based (not the pastor). I think the chorizo might be falafel, but that's a guess? Ended our meal with the Tres Leches as a dessert. Frosting is buttery and sweet (maybe a little too much frosting) but the cake goes super well with the milk. It sits in a soy milk bath which is a first for me. I wish they had added more soy milk! The menu is huge though. I was very tempted to try other stuff on the menu so I am very open to coming back and trying the breakfast platter (or getting more tacos again, yum).

I ordered ahead as I was in a bit of a rush and thankfully they were very quick at preparing my food! They also didn't compromise on the quality in doing so! I managed to find a spot on the adjacent side street and was greeted as soon as I entered. The ambiance of the restaurant was bright and colorful with plenty of cozy seating both inside and outside. They also had a pastry case filled with some drool worthy cakes. The friendly employee quickly found my order. The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!
